STRICTLY ANN

ANN WIDDECOMBE
Book Number: 81849
Product format: Paperback

Ann Widdecombe was minister in three government departments and the Shadow Cabinet in the 1990s. In this unusual political autobiography she takes us back to her wandering childhood and explains the roots of her deeply held views. A rare anti-hunting Tory who campaigned for prison education and who once donned a miner's overalls to go down a coal mine, Ann has never shied away from controversy. From feisty appearances on 'Have I Got News for You' to her unforgettable performances of glamour and glitter on Strictly Come Dancing, she has been heralded a 'national treasure'. Born in to a world in which Britain still ran an empire, Ann went to a strict convent school in the swinging sixties and into parliament while Margaret Thatcher was still Prime Minister and in between has seen all the carpet-bagging, rebellions, pensions, wars, and silly burghers. 454pp, a Sunday Times Bestseller, 24 pages of colour and b/w photos.
